Hi, im in the same situation as you. Ive been asked by my mum to create a online store for her horse shop she opened last year. I did a home study course but they went bust so lost a lot of money so had to go local college. Done mostly dreamweaver and flash but they dont tell u anything bout shopping carts etc. I dont even know where to begin, i can get photos, prices etc but do i design the site and then get a shopping cart, how do i apply it to my design or do i get that 1st. so many questions.

thank you. seems all local colleges etc will teach you web design but nothing bout shopping carts, php, mysql etc. In the process of buying new pc, scanner etc for my business.

thanks for your replies but im still wondering where do i start. i only really know how to use dreamweaver but where to start with making a shop site. i can get the photos/prices of the products, sort them out so there in different catergories. Do i make the website first with all the different pages, etc or do i choose a shopping cart, somehow add this to dreamweaver, i dont know. i dont have a clue sorry. any help please.

Hi I'm Drew 28 from Redditch near Birmingham, UK. So far ive created one site and this was for someone who is happy for the most basic of designs. I'm jobless but been asked to make a online shop for my mums horse shop. (in another forum asking bout shop advice) Going into business for myself, where i do photo/video editing, transfer to dvd, negatives/slides scanning, basic pc repair, virus removal, ebay selling and web design.

Hi, I just found this website and looks like something that would be good to use. Anyway I was doing a CIW course a few yrs back, a home study thing but the course providers went bust last Summer, so lost all my money and any qualifications I would have gained. That and the course material was terrible. I've been out of a job for over a year now but done evening courses to learn dreamweaver, flash, photoshop. They dont go into these in too much detail and never cover anything to do with an online shop. My mother opened a horse shop, feed, tack, clothing etc and she wants me to create an online shop for her asap. It's a small shop but we hope to sell a lot on there. She doesnt want to get a professional to do it, she wants me to learn from it etc. I am however clueless as to where to begin. We want an online shop where people can purchase using paypal, credit cards etc Where do I begin, i want to be able to use dreamweaver cs5. Do i design the site, leaving bits blank for the shopping cart, or do i purchase a shopping cart package first. Any ideas in what order i should do things. Thanks in advance. Im hoping once the site is done, i will work on my own business which will include many things.
